Reggae-dancehall artiste Shatta Wale has called on necessary authorities to regulate frameworks that will make the Ghanaian industry attract investors for musicians to compete evenly with their international counterparts.
According to him, the lack of conducive policies, infrastructure, and resources has hindered the growth and potential of musicians on the international stage.
Expressing his grievances in a new post on his Facebook page, Shatta Wale stated that the lack of appropriate policies was drawing musicians backward and underscored the urgent need for stakeholders to address the issue.
“It is clear that the lack of conducive policies, infrastructure, and resources has hindered our growth and potential on the international stage. We must urgently address this by improving regulatory frameworks, investing in modern infrastructure, and strengthening intellectual property rights and licensing,” he stated.
In moving forward, Shatta Wale said there was a concerted effort by stakeholders to effect the desired changes needed for the betterment of the industry.
“It is time for us to work together to create an enabling environment that attracts major global investments and propels our music industry to unprecedented heights, contributing to our national identity and economy,” he stated.
In addition, Shatta Wale expressed the need for stakeholders to rally together and collaborate to open the doors of opportunity for “our” industry.
“By any means necessary, we need to put in efforts to make sure our music is heard globally as Ghanaians,” he added.
